Council District 4
The East Side of Manhattan — Midtown East, the Upper East Side south, Murray Hill, and Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village. About twenty minutes, run live.
What the session covers
Every act asks the same question twice: once through an ordinary web search, once through a connector reading the City’s own records. The searches are real and reproduced verbatim — the comparison is not staged.
- Your district right now. Service requests, open procurement, and what is on the calendar.
- Your own legislation, retrieved by bill number, with a link that opens.
- Your discretionary funding, from the allocation in the adopted budget through to an actual check the city cut.
- An issue you are working on, sourced from the Charter and Administrative Code rather than summarized from memory.
What it is honest about
The material carries its own limits on the slide rather than in a footnote. Council vote positions are not in the local archive at all — the tool says so and names three working alternatives instead of returning an empty list. Where a figure was verified on a particular date, the date is on the slide.
For staff running this: the deck works with no network. Arrow keys move, N opens presenter
notes, G is a slide grid, F goes full screen. The demo script is the source of truth for figures
and provenance; the deck carries the same warnings in its notes.
